"Unveiling the Enigmatic Beauty: Colorless Glass from European Artifacts" Step into a world of intrigue and mystery as we explore the captivating allure fragments. Dating back to the 15th century, these exquisite creations bear witness to the craftsmanship of unknown European artisans whose names have been lost in time. One such fragment, believed to originate from Switzerland's Lucretia Workshop by Carl von Egeri (1510-1562), showcases delicate intricacies that transport us back to an era steeped in artistic brilliance. Meanwhile, a Crucifixion piece hailing from French Lorraine Burgundy (France) circa 1500 captures the essence of devotion and sacrifice with its masterful design. Traveling further across Europe, we encounter Apostle Thomas, a German masterpiece crafted in Cologne during Germany's golden age between 1460 and 1470. Its meticulous details speak volumes about the skill and dedication invested by its creator. An English Heraldic Panel originating from East Anglia around 1520 proudly displays symbols representing lineage and nobility. This remarkable artifact serves as a testament to England's rich cultural heritage. Venturing into North Netherlands territory, we discover both Way Cross and Fragment Triumph Chastity Love – two mesmerizing pieces that showcase South Netherlandish artistry at its finest. The former evokes solemnity while guiding believers on their spiritual journey, while the latter celebrates love's triumph over temptation with grace and elegance. The Virgin Child Saint Joseph transports us to Bruges' enchanting landscapes within Netherlandish artistry—a portrayal radiating purity and tenderness through every brushstroke or etching on this timeless glasswork. A Pot-metal flashed Saint John originating from Germany around 1420 captivates viewers with its vibrant colors against translucent glass—an extraordinary fusion of technique and spirituality that transcends time itself.
